Is pasta vegan???

Question

ive got this dried pasta, the only ingrediants it states is 'duram wheat semolina'

then it cautions that it contains wheat and gluten......

is this pasta suitable for vegans?

Answer 1

In your case the ingredients tell you. At a restaurant, even if you ask, the chances are, nobody really knows so the pasta with eggs in it has a kind of thickness to it's appearance and it has a kind of bouncyness that non egg pasta does not, which just sort of sits there looking very limp and tired. You can feel the difference when you bite into it too. Egg pasta actually bites though more easily.

Just my opinion.

Answer 2

read the ingredients...it probably has eggs.

Answer 3

Some types of pasta contain eggs (and are, obviously, not vegan) - but if the only ingredient is durum wheat semolina (durum wheat is just a particular type of wheat) - then it's definitely vegan. Enjoy your dinner. ;o)

Answer 4

as long as it does not contain any eggs or milk like products. it sounds like you got yourself a good vegan pasta

Answer 5

Yes it is.  Most of the italian style pastas are vegan.

Answer 6

yes most suitable for someone as special as You and all those lovely vegans out there.

Answer 7

Yes it is

Answer 8

Some is. Some isn't. You need to read the labels

Not all pasta is made with Wheat either. Some is made of Corn, of Rice and of Quinoa.

DeCecco, Barilla, etc. are commercial brand that are OK. Also be aware that when you are in a restaurant you need to ask that question. If they say that they use dried pasta ask if it is DeCecco. Ifso it's ok except for an egg noodle or spatzle

Answer 9

just make sure there arn't any eggs in the ingredients and you should be o'right

Answer 10

if it has not been made with egg than i am sure it will be fine
